Washington (CNN) - White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday continued to defend the rule in the national health care law that may end up forcing millions of Americans from their health insurance.

Carney's defense of the law comes amid revelations that a grand total of six Americans signed up for Obamacare coverage on the first day the online exchanges went live October 1, according to internal notes provided to the Republican-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

“White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday continued to defend the rule in the national health care law that may end up forcing millions of Americans from their health insurance.”

But WAIT!!! I thought it was those shifty insurance companies that decided all of a sudden that they didn’t need millions of their customers any more, and then dropped them from their customer rolls!!!!

When asked by CNN’s Chris Cuomo about the law requiring individuals to get new insurance coverage they may not need or want, such as maternity care, Carney argued that many people don't really know or understand what their options are and urged buyers to do their homework. In many cases, “you're going to find out you get better insurance, that's a guarantee, better minimum coverage and at same or lower cost because you'll qualify for a tax credit,” he said.

Latest line from the loony left seems to be “well employers cancel policies and buy new ones for their people all the time” - true - that’s the magic of a free market competitive system where you can make changes for the better -cheaper or expanded coverage - whenever you want - but the changes coming under Obamacare are forced by the government which arrogantly thinks it knows better than anyone else what people need, and is requiring them to buy pricier and, for most, unnecessary coverage.....

Yes. I heard that on Fox. Michael J. Cannon with Cato answered a liberal on Fox today and said the companies do this at their discretion periodically but that is not the same as what the govt. had done. Cannon is very good regarding up to date info on Obamacare and what it means. I just started following him on Twitter. Betsy McCaughey was on Mark Levin one night and mentioned his name as being knowldgeable about Obamacare. He was answering questions today on Fox before the LA airport shooting happened and bumped him. I wanted to hear what he had to say.

Wait until the employer mandate kicks in. Most of my friends and acquaintances keep telling me, "Well it doesn't affect me" or they ask their husbands and he tells them, "What are you worried about, it doesn't affect us."

hehe.
